Special to the Indianapolis journal
LONDON, July 14-Special dispatches from
Paris up to o'clock this evening show that,
while the temper of the populace is such that an
outbreak would be welcomed, no actual disturb
ance is likely to occur. There is an imposing
display of the authorities. the police being ont
in unusual force and military detachments being
in readiness to come into action on short notice.
In some of the most dangerous quarters of the
city this display Of the governments resources is
SO profuse that almost every one in three of the
persons one sees wears q uniform and bears the
weapons of authority. The streets are
filed with people enjoying the closing hours of
the great holiday. Occasionally songs were
heard. but the general temper of ne people is
one of sullenness. It is evident 1t spirit of
restlessness and discomfort PREVAILS but it is not
sufficiently bitter to rouse the masses to sponta-
neous revolt An outbreak could doubtless be
brought about, however. by bold and unscru-
pulous set of leaders working in the interest of
an ambitious popular idol. The friends of Bou-
LANCER point to this fact to the entire absence OF
any cabal in the Generals favor, and to the
peacefulness of to-day's proceedings as proving
the patriotism of their hero. They declare

Of military leaders refusal to take advantage
of personal popularity marked as to be a
guarantee of his success in any coup d'etat which
he might undertake. However this may be, it
cannot be denied that General Boulanger might
make great deal Of trouble if he chose to do so
in the present temper of the people, and if there
is any credit attached to his refraining from
such action. he is certainly entitled to it in full
measure.
There have been various minor disorders dur
ing the afternoon and evening. but not more
looked for upon any French political holiday.
President Grevy's reception by the people
he rode to the review of the troops was as a
whole, cordial; but here and there Kisses were
heard Cries of ''Vive le republique" were
heard every side, and occasionally "Vive le
President and '.Vive Grevy." The review at
Longchamps was without special incident The
immense crowd maintained perfect order. The
troops were heartily cheered. The march past
began at 4i0. and was finished at $50 p. Nj.
President Grevy at once returned to Paris and
the crowd dispersed quietly and good-naturedly
